At least Allred was able to pull in some Republicans that voted foe Trump.

Last I checked, Cruz has 200,000 less votes than Trump and Allred had 100,000 votes more than Harris.

It's so disappointing that Allred is behind by 1,000,000 votes, which is close to the number of voters purged IIRC.

He's slated to win the popular vote. People wanted him..so we deserve whatever regime they impose on the American people

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

No one that didn’t vote for that piece of shit deserves him.

Well I think the oval office would be much more well suited to a 100% carbon-based humanoid like Ted Cruz:

You've had that every day in his abortion of a face, even when he wins an election.

Fun fact: a used condom hanging from a tree branch by the interstate has more rigidity than Ted Cruz’s spine.

It has also been said that it smells better than Ted’s soft teeth.

My wife and I did our part. Now if USPS Express Mail would deliver our ballots, that would be great.

UPDATE:

Weird to see my old zip code on here

Probably worth going in person, explaining the situation, and asking for a provisional ballot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am over a thousand miles away. Otherwise I would have voted early.

At this point i'm convinced the USPS has been sabotaged to disrupt mail in voting.

I've had a piece of registered mail go missing just one month ago despite the tracking... I had a small package shipped from NJ end up in Iowa for some reason just yesterday, despite the destination being Boston.

The USPS is in a really poor place with all the private competition taking the lucrative package shipments. It's a shame we basically let them out to dry and accept service level decreases year after year so that we don't have to fund it at all with taxes. IMO there should be a fee levied for every package shipped by third party delivery services that benefits the USPS because mail is simply too important to all aspects of a country to forsake.

I checked and my UT mail in was counted, though washed away by all the red Mormons, but I absolutely suspect foul play with that orange cunt leading

Yep, that's a pretty big chunk of it. Most of it's just a typical right-wing grift though, privatizing public services in the name of "cost savings".

Louis DeJoy is the current postmaster general, appointed by Trump in 2020. DeJoy also just so happens to be the founder and former CEO of XPO Logistics, a company that still has active contracts with the USPS to this day.

Color. Me. Suprised.

I cannot wait for the next John Oliver if that happens.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't think John Oliver is alive anymore..

It's a sad day.

I do not like this man Ted Cruz.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I do not like his ego bruise

I do not like him in defeat

That man Ted Cruise, had best retreat!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that race close? I remember being optimistic before and getting dashed, so I haven't paid attention to that one this time around.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, Collin Allred has apparently been hitting out of the park, way better and closer than the last D candidate to get close to unseating Ted Cruz

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Cruz won over Beto at 2.6%, 538 is projecting Cruz at +4% over Allred. What am I missing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Can't really trust the polls, from what I've been reading they've been overcompensating for the "Trump R factor" not to mention all the shady Republicans polls that keep dumping trash data that are all "Oh yea it's gonna be a total Trump landslideee!!!! Trust me brooo!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The Iowa poll is the key to this whole thing.

The Setzer poll tosses out what past elections use as a base for their calculations. She goes off what's happening now and it's an extremely reliable poll.

#VOTE!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Aged like milk. What a shame.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm going to ask this dumb question in the interest of learning: I understand and agree Setzer is solid at polling Iowa, but what does it have to do with the Texas Senate?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Polls are going off old data, not taking in account the new voters, and the Republicans dropped 30 shitty right-wing polls that skewed the data.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

and unlike Beto, he didn't say Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47
